Benjamin Netanyahu "bombs everything all the time", according to Trump's closest men.

Now the US's dissatisfaction with the Israeli prime minister is growing.

- He is behaving like a madman, a government source tells Axios.

The US has simultaneously tried to broker peace in the conflicts between Israel and Iran, Israel and Hamas and Israel and Hezbollah.

So when Israel recently decided to come to the defense of the Druze and also bomb Syria, the top went off in Washington, according to sources to Axios.

The Israeli prime minister is said to be "out of control" and "behaving like a child".

– There is a feeling that his trigger finger is itching too much and that he is too disruptive, says a US official.

“Gotta get his head out of his ass”

After the regime change in Syria that forced former President Bashar al-Assad to flee, Donald Trump has brought the country into the heat. All sanctions have been lifted and agreements have been made to rebuild Syria.

Something that is now in jeopardy, according to US government sources.

– The bombing in Syria surprised the president and the White House. The president does not like to turn on the TV and see bombs dropped on a country he is trying to achieve peace in and which he has made a monumental announcement to rebuild.

According to Axios, the US envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, has contacted Trump personally to complain about Netanyahu.

– The Israelis need to get their heads out of their asses, says an American source.

Trump: “What the hell?”

When Israel bombed Gaza’s only Catholic church earlier this week, Trump is said to have personally called Netanyahu and demanded an explanation.

– Something new happens every day. What the hell? Trump is said to have said.

Now American officials are warning that Trump’s patience may be running out.

– Bibi’s political agenda is controlling his mind. It will prove to be a big mistake for him in the long run.
